Ancient wisdom of the Maori goddesses to help you navigate the modern world
Atua wahine are the Maori goddesses who make up the world around us: earth, fire, water, the moon and more.
From the earth mother, Papatuanuku, who sustains and nurtures us to the goddess of peace, Hineputehue, who transformed pain into beauty, and the misunderstood goddess of the underworld, Hinenuitepo, who created purpose and enlightenment from betrayal - this book is a treasure of knowledge and insight.
Drawing on whakatauki (proverbs) and purakau (traditional stories), discover how the wisdom of 17 atua wahine can help us live with courage and confidence in the modern world. With guided steps, these atua will inspire you to foster creativity, acknowledge cycles of change, and embrace self-determination.
Hana Tapiata (Te Arawa, Ngati Awa, Ngati Porou, Waikato, Pakeha) is a mama living by Maori philosophies to explore wellness, self-determination and liberation. She freelances in communication and has self-published two books exploring ancestral Maori concepts and systems and their applications in modern life.
